This is Sid:

He's a dragon, and I made him for the Little Stuffies swap. Part of the swap was to make an introduction card, and include some other small present, so of course, I had to make the dragon some loot to hoard.

And I also bought him some chocolate coins to guard for his new owner.

Well, I had some difficulties in getting the bulky flyer attached to the spinning wheel. It didn't fit on there the way that I expected it to, and it took some fiddling to get it to line up right. I am sure there is an easier way to do it than what I did, but what do I care? It worked.

So the autumnal yarn that I showed off in this post, was plied with some gold braid and now looks like this:

There's about 120 yards, and it's pretty bulky. I don't know what I will make with it, or what I should call it. I feel like it needs a silly name. Maybe some kind of literary reference?

I had started these mittens for a certain purple-loving friend as a Christmas present:

Only then, during a conversation we had last week, she happened to mention how much she liked the cabled mittens I had done for a few people, and now I am worried that these are not interesting enough. What do you all think?

Lest you think I have been receiving more than I've been giving, I have actually been hard at work making a few things.

First off, I have my first My Little Pony recon. The pony started out looking like this:

Yes, I know. It's very pink.

And I made a little fortune teller/gypsy pony which I named Sasha:She also had 3 fortune telling dice, and note cards explaining how to use them in a black velvet bag. My partner seemed to like her, so that is all good.

In return, I received an awesome zombie pony:Which has joined extrajoker's cthulhu cabinet on our shelf of weird crafts. The zombie pony came with her own severed arm on which to munch. Mmmm...human flesh.

I also finished my items for my second partner in the Miyazaki swap:A Totoro sketchbook
